PAGE 4 - PLAIVDEALER-FRIDAY, JITNF. 20. 1975 CITY SPENDING RESTRAINT AHEAD', COUNCIL ADVISED (Continued from page 1) alderman, presented a proposed ordinance which would officially establish a Bicentennial commission for the city of McHenry. Lane and Rogers are chairmen of the Bicentennial celebration for this city. The Council approved the ordinance unanimously. Rogers explained that all the city's activities would take place in 1976 since that was officially designated as the Bicentennial year. A yearly calendar of events will be presented to the Council for its approval within the next month, Rogers said. Lane mentioned that state and federal grants are available for some Bicen­ tennial functions. They will check into the matter and report back. Miss Mayme Buss of 3925 W. W|aukegan road, McHenry, submitted a letter of resignation from her job as counter of parking meter monies. She gave physical disability as her reason. It was mentioned that Miss Buss has worked for the city as collector jnd counter for about fifty years. In order to cover a technicality ^in the statutes which state that a deputy clerk must live in the corporate city limits of a municipality where she serves, a motion was made to change that title. Instead of being named "deputy clerk", Lillian Waller's title was changed to "assistant city clerk". Mrs. Waller resides in McHenry Shores. Authorization was given which would allow Superin­ tendent of Public Works Fred Meyer to purchase tools and supplies in an amount up to $500 without coming before the Purchasing committee or City Council for prior approval. Approval was given for the purchase of a chain saw for the Public Works department in the amount of $249.95. The flatter of parking recreational vehicles in residential areas was brought up by Alderman William Bolger, who read a letter from Harry Dean, 804 W. John street. This matter has been discussed by the Council in previous years but no conclusion was ever reached. The mayor asked that each alderman do some research on the situation and bring back suggestions to the next meeting. The following expenditures were approved: Lakeland Construction, $38,624.00, partial billing for site preparation work done at Petersen park, (all work is completed except one-half rif the top soil needs to be put back on); Althoff In­ dustries, $4,339.96, plumbing and heating work on police addition; Chicago and Nor­ thwestern railway, $5,198.66, Lillian street crossing im­ p r o v e m e n t ; N a t i o n a l Boulevard Bank of Chicago, $2,425.00, interest due on bonds; Home State Bank of Crystal Lake, $1,533.06, interest due on bonds and First National Bank of Chicago, $14,633.58, interest due on bonds.

The Woodstock Elks club joined forces this year with the County Bicentennial com­ mission to put on its most impressive Colonial Flag program, directed by Robert Wienke and performed by the county Boy Scouts. A B. McConnell will salute the forty-six member County Bicentennial commission and introduce Congressman Robert McClory, who will present the Bicentennial flag to the county.

Benjamin Franklin will be on hand in full regalia to act as host to the thousands expected to attend these ceremonies.

Open house will be held in the courthouse cafeteria im­ mediately after these ceremonies, under the direc­ tion of Olive Nolan and the McHenry County Council American Legion auxiliary. Many have asked why McHenry county is making such extensive plans to celebrate the nation's two- hundredth birthday, since neither state nor county existed 200 years ago. The county historians say they "can knock this type of thinking into a cocked tri- corned hat." They recall the Rogers Clark expedition of 1778. a direct result of the Revolutionary War, that opened up the Northwest Territory for one of this country's greatest population push. They also suggest getting right down to the grass roots of McHenry county itself point out the ^acFllTaT"6verv' township in this county was settled by Revolutionary War veterans and-or their sons - all originating from the thirteen original states. These historians point to a list of the first recorded settlers arriving in the county. One of the county's most illustrious Revolutionary War heroes lies in the Linn-Hebron cemetery. Born in 1739 in New York, Major Watson was in the War for Independence and the War of 1812, serving under both Washington and Lafayette. He was captured by the British in his own home town of Sacketts Harbor, NY. and placed aboard a prison ship, finally being released through the intercession of Washington. Major Watson died in 1840 at the age of 101. The Ferris family of the Harvard area report their grandfather, John Ferris, was beaten as a boy by Lord Howe until he was a cripple for life. The Ferris family has roots deep in Throg's, Westchester, where they had to serve Lord Howe and his officers after their estate had been com­ mandeered by the British for use as their headquarters. Mrs. Ferris was forced to serve the officers and in this manner, picked up vital information which she sent through the lines to General Washington. McHenry county may not have been part of the Union in 1776, but its residents can point proudly to ancestors that were, and it is for this reason that the people of McHenry county are urged to turn out and celebrate the nation's 200th birthday in every way they can.

It is an effort to cooperate in the area of pollution, and it provides an economical way of acquiring something at a time when the financial pinch is very evident. All in all, city-wide clean-up was quite a project! Take 250 imaginative, hard working people with a cause; put them together with in­ structions to produce something very special and you have Town and Country. This is the recipe concocted at St. Patrick's church almost a year ago to provide the public with a very unique type of entertainment. After # months and months of planning, we had an opportunity to see a preview of the fruits of their labors. The rooms of Montini Primary center are in­ describable as they portray a resourcefulness beyond the imagination. Every detail has been handled with care, and the homey atmosphere inside each room seems to extend a welcome to come inside and view the entertainment. This is a first for McHenry, and the enthusiasm evident among those who have planned for so long is finding its way to others. With the super scenery they have to offer, and with the anticipation of really fine variety entertainment, it is no wonder that huge crowds are almost a foregone conclusion. K.A.F.
